KGS Mettmann: Bacterial pollution remains - disinfection shows effect!

In the Catholic elementary school Mettmann (KGS) there are still problems with the bacterium pseudomonas aeruginosa. Despite a recently carried out rinsing of the drinking water pipes, the bacterium continues to be shown in the water samples. This situation is discussed in a letter to the parents, which was delivered on Friday, October 11th.

In order to improve the hygiene situation, those responsible decided to subject the drinking water pipes to an additional disinfection. This measure took place last week and should significantly reduce the nucleus in the water. The bacterium pseudomonas aeruginosa can occur in certain environments and is known for causing health risks, especially in people with a weakened immune system. It is therefore of great importance that the school takes the appropriate steps to clean up the drinking water system.

disinfection and analysis

Responsibility for drinking water supply lies not only at the school itself, but also with the responsible health authorities who regularly monitor the situation together with the school management. Disinfection is intended to ensure that pupils and employees in the cafeteria can remain healthy. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether this additional measure will be successful - the first test results have so far been pending. Parents are concerned about the repeated germ findings, and it is to be expected that the school management will work closely with the responsible bodies to discuss possible measures.

The continued burden is also serious for the school authorities. In order to ensure full security for the students and the entire school staff, careful monitoring of the water supply will be necessary in the coming weeks. Only when there are comprehensive, germ -free water samples can a secure drinking water quality be assumed. For a detailed view of the current case, a look at the official reporting on rp-online.de .
